The Method

This range reminded me of being in a America. We travelled when it was hot and seeing long open plains reminded me of the sparseness of the land. I looked at the shades in the collection and used a mixture of water colours and acrylics with a Tim Holtz circle tag stencil. 


I painted some cacti and made that the focus of the page. Within the cacti I placed chipboard, prima flowers, cutout gold foil cacti and little sentiments thats added to this page. I used a paper plate with green water colour brushes  to create a curved background behind the photo. I used light brown, medium brown, green and pink acrylics to stencil and paint the background white card (1 cm) smaller than the Kraft 12 x 12 cardstock. I used a fine black marker to create a border on the edge of the white cardstock. I wrote words that brought this picture to life ( cocktails, girl time, fun times, chats, catch ups etc)


I carried across the circle theme to the pocket pages and used the notecards to write on and explain the photos in the pockets. I used circle lids to dip in acrylic paints across these pocket pages. I used sticker sheets and, chipboards and titles to decorate these pocket pages.

I had a lot of fun making the multimedia background with all of its layers. I love painting matching embellishments. The gold foiling in this page really adds dimension to this page.



I love mixing colour's that may not seem to go together naturally. 
In life don't opposites attract alot of the time? 
Maybe step out of the usual colour's and try something new.

Happy crafting from The Twilight Scrapper........

Under the Sea 49andMarket ‘shipwreck’

Under the Sea ..... 49andMarket ‘Shipwreck’ This was a wall embroidery hoop from Spotlight. I created a water colour background with blue and purple watered down Nuvo shimmer dusts. They turned out lovely the shimmery surface cannot be seen in this photo. This frame was created with the Shipwreck range and punch outs were in the 12x12 sheet which I used most of. I didn’t have to fussy cut! That was the best part. I used mini hoops from stamping up and watercoloured a piece of white card.  I used a range of colour co-ordinated ribbons and wooden themed embellishments.  Everything was raised with 3D dots, the background used sequins and seed beads to make it look like bubbles and sand.  I made this for my daughter to decorate her wall. It’s soft and muted and dreamy. Much like a dream catcher. I hope you enjoy this project as much as I enjoyed making it.  All my love Mel xxxx thetwilightscrapper

‘Little Moments’ Happiness CVS

Image
 Little Moments  ‘ Happiness by Cocoa Vanilla Studio’ The inspiration behind this layout was the bright water colour pink/orange tones of the Happiness ( Botanical Bliss Paper CV-HA001  collection ( die cuts , paper) I used Vicki Boutin watercolour markers water Nuvo colour brushes to create my own flowers by hand painting on water colour paper and fussy cutting.  The background was created on salmon card stock with Nuvo Atlantis burst and nuvo cherry bomb . The dust was sprayed with water and allowed to create drips down the paper.  The speckles created were like lots of hundreds and thousands on the page. The photos was layered up with pink water colour card. That was hand painted to blend in with the page.  I used the lid of the mister to create circles by dropping the lid in pink watercolour. I stamped this over the layout. I lightly water coloured the title from CVS Daydream collection. The little scatters that cover the LO were red hearts and blue s...

A Merry Frame @SOYL CIJ

Image
This idea came about when I decided I wanted to display a cute family picture (2x3 inch photo) for Christmas . I used speckled egg oxide ink pad to create two circles for the background. The papers I used were from Kaisercraft ‘winter wonderland’ I created a background using blue glitter paste and a Tim Holtz tag circle stencil which I used in both corners of this frame to stencil the glitter.  I used a felt tip pen and hand drew around the circles to add definition and then started to layer up the ephemera from ‘winter wonderland’ as well stickers with Christmas sentiments on them.  I painted in (speckled egg ink) some chipboard hearts that I separated and layered under a car board backed photo. I hand drew a border here also.  I finally took the cardboard frame from the photo frame and placed it over the scrapbooking I had done not worrying to much if it overlapped the frame. I finished this project with sequins, painted wooden elements which blended in with the colours...
